The government will have your names gun owners!

Glad you are okay Rob!



So, while I am an Army veteran and current gun owner, this is exactly why (in my utopian brain) I wish we could just outlaw guns ALTOGETHER. You could have killed a man who more than likely made a simple mistake. What is also telling is your admission that you probably would not have been able to grab and use your weapon if that had been a full on strong-arm car jacking. Conceal carry, open carry, straight up hill jack gun nuts get this wild wild west image in their mind and ignore the realities of using a handgun in a situation like that. Your chances of doing what has to be done, and doing it well, differ from person to person but in reality are very low across the board.



Do I want someone to take away my right to have a gun? No, but I love the idea of NO ONE having guns. Cops, criminals, citizens, soldiers...imagine...

Unicorns and pixies are more likely to found a reality than that utopian world you'd like us to imagine.

As long as humans are what they always have been, there will be need of weaponry of all forms.

I'm still looking for a quadricorn. Have you seen one?

Yes, the taking of a human life is not something I look upon lightly. Even people I know in the military who "mowed down" thousands of "the enemy" are still affected by it. Don't get me wrong, I'll still put a POS in the dirt.....I just hope I continue to recognize the difference when that crucial moment occurs.

You are right, you never forget.

Some can move on, others find it hard to live with. Just a sad situation that the military member has to live with.

Whether all guns are banned or not, criminals will ALWAYS have guns. At the same time, I HAVE NOT and WILL NOT ever register my handguns. I heard here in Las Vegas we are supposed to but all I can say to that is oops, I must have forgot.
